Poolesville (or...?) ride, Sunday 11/19

[7rider]

I think at this point I'll have to pass on the ride on the 19th.
It's been about 1.5 weeks since I had been to my chiropractor, and frankly was about to give up on chiro in favor of "western" medicine (i.e., drugs) - but a week of that is offering me no relief, either. So, I'm back with my chiro for PT - major massage on my arm and neck. He thinks it all comes from my bike, with computer time thrown in for good measure. So...after all that...I'm off the bike for the foreseeable future (since I work at a desk job and can't give up the p.c. so easily).
(In the meantime, my DH surprised me with an I-Joy massage chair! Ooooo, it is SOO cool!)
Hopefully, I'll be able to ride after the new year...but then, I may want to do nothing but ski at that point! And I'm hoping against hope that I can have my LBS re-look at my fit on my bike and see if something is amiss. It was just re-fit to me after my rebuild, but I dunno. DH thinks I need a custom Seven, but Lord knows I don't want to spring for that!!!
So...have fun on the 19th. I wish I could be there with you.

Ah, Regina, I'm so sorry. I know how upset I'd be if I had a physical issue of that sort that prevented me from doing stuff I love I hope that either the chiro or the regular dr can figure out the source of your problem, or that your LBS can help you modify your bike in some way. In spite of not wanting to shell out the bucks for a new bike, have you ever thought of trying a recumbent? I don't know if this is a long-term chronic problem for you or something new, but if it sticks around I'd think a 'bent could be a lot easier on your back and shoulder.
